Kevin followed her, saying as he walked, “I have no idea when Matriarch Farrell will return. I really can’t wait to see the drama unfold within the Farrell family.” Hayden turned to look at him and replied, “Even if Matriarch Farrell discovers that her husband is unfaithful, she won’t cause a scene publicly. Instead, she’ll bring Holden back and confront him privately. You won’t get to witness the spectacle, even if you want to.”
“What about Kathryn? She’s the one who manages the Farrell family. The calm on the surface is deceptive. Can her father’s scandal really stay hidden? I find that hard to believe,” Kevin mused. After a moment, he added quietly, “Kathryn is no ordinary person; she stirred up quite a mess at home. She could seize the opportunity to oust her brothers from the Farrell Group. Without those troublemakers, her position would become even stronger. She truly embodies the cunning of Matriarch Farrell in dealing with her own siblings.”
After a brief silence, Hayden defended Kathryn: “Kathryn possesses the ruthlessness typical of a Farrell woman, but her approach differs from Matriarch Farrell’s. I’d bet that her best move would be to expel her brothers from the Farrell Group and stop them from lining their own pockets, forming cliques, and causing disruptions. She would never go as far as Matriarch Farrell did by eliminating her own brothers.”
Recognizing Hayden’s admiration for Kathryn, Kevin refrained from criticizing her further and shifted the topic. They entered the hotel, and Kevin took Hayden directly to the top floor via his private elevator, leading her to his presidential suite, which featured a revolving buffet with a variety of food options. Meanwhile, Kevin’s curiosity about Holden and the attractive young woman remained. He discreetly sent messages and arranged for someone to monitor Holden’s every move, particularly if he opened the door to his room with the young woman.
As she entered the room, a photo was taken of her from behind. Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at the Farrell Group, Kathryn sat alone at her desk, eating fast food. She was engrossed in her work and preferred not to take the time to go out to eat; instead, she ordered takeout in advance. Occasionally, she would go downstairs to eat in the company canteen, but unless she was entertaining clients, she only dined at upscale hotels. Having experienced the challenges of starting a business, she understood that making money was not easy. Unlike Shiloh, who spent money frivolously, Kathryn was more prudent with her expenses. She only spent what was necessary and avoided unnecessary costs. When it came to meals, she prioritized getting enough food without being choosy. In contrast, Shiloh often spent several thousand dollars on a meal, with wine pushing the total to tens of thousands.
Just then, Kathryn’s cell phone rang, indicating a new message. While she continued to eat, she glanced at a video and several photos sent by Pedro Fraser. All the images featured her father with a glamorous woman—the mistress of a prominent boss. Since the boss only visited her occasionally, she often sought companionship elsewhere, leading a secretly romantic and fulfilling life.
